"Count Your Steps" is a rouge lite board game / auto battler made for GMTK Game Jam 2026. You are an adventurer, exploring COUNT Dracula's infamous castle, fighting his servants, finding loot and becoming strong enough in order to strike DOWN the count!

 But exploring the castle is easier said than done, you have a hand of cards, each one representing a room in the castle, you play your cards on the map, shaping the castle as you explore it AND, the card that you play will determine the COUNT of your steps, so instead of throwing a dice, you play cards that both determine the shape of the board and the dice that you use in order to COUNT YOUR STEPS! 


Tutorial: 

- Drag and Drop cards on the board cells in order to play your card and create rooms in cells - Hover over cards, rooms and items to read their description 

- If a card says "On Land: Do X" it means that X will happen when you finish your movement on the card 

- If a card says "On Pass: Do X" it means that X will happen when you enter the room 

- When you enter a room with enemies you will start a fight with them automatically 

- Items have tags, collecting tags will enable synergies 

- When you get items, they will automatically be sent to your inventory, you can drag and drop them into your equipment in order to receive their benefit 

- You can only have 1 weapon

 - The count card is always in your hand, when you are ready to face him or you can't play any other cards, play him
